What is the worst thing that ever happened to your sims?

Well, I micromanage my sims pretty well, but I have had a couple of instances.

Once one of my sims decided to cook by herself while I was playing another sim in the household and started a fire, luckily her husband was home and rushed in with an extinguisher….. lol, or she would have been toast.

But I think, the most interesting “worse thing “ that ever happened to one of my sims in the sims 4 so far was when a vampire entered one of my sims apartment and decided to take a drink, and they seem to like to return to her apartment….. I don’t really play vampires…… but thought this was rather interesting….

Oh and I also have a Farmer which became a technophobe somehow, even though he lived being able to watch tv in the evening. Anyone know how to natural overcome the technophobia without cheats? He won’t even work in his wood working bench anymore…..

Once my scientist Sim was at his working place in the small tea kitchen area. I let him use his simray just for fun transforming the fridge. Instead of transforming to some other item the fridge went up in flames. The scientist's colleague stood by the scene and immediately caught fire. My Sim tried to extinguish the fire to save her but he failed and she burnt to death. He pleaded to the Grim Reaper to let her live but he refused. I was so shocked by this that I didn't continue playing The Sims that day.

I've had numerous fires break out at that laboratory, some of them from botched transformations, others from the chemistry labs spontaneously combusting. (I am not sure if the chemistry lab fires are intended behavior or not, but it seems believable either way.) Part of the reason why my scientist sim has such good relationships with his coworkers is because he keeps saving them from lab accidents, or giving Grim death flowers to bring them back, so he's frequently someone's hero there. Were it not for that sentiment, I'd have long since installed a fire sprinkler system.

Some years ago, one of my sims went to Selvadorada with her boyfriend and got cursed, but I didn't pay it mych attention. Anyway, they got engaged and went to the bushes for celebratoty woohoo, but before that, she got stuck by lightning and died.
(The ending was happy. As she is a witch, I added her back into the household and she brew a potion to revive herself. Not sure if it's the worst thing to happen to any of my sims, but this, along with my first death ever ( death by laughter, accidentally caused by me clicking on a random spell without reading the description while testing a mod), are what have shocked me the most)

My sim got married and literally 20 sim minutes later the groom keeled over dead.

Bad things don't usually happen in TS4 unless I make them happen, but there was this one time a teen in Willow Creek tried to go to school in a thunderstorm. There was also a puddle of mud directly at the foot of the stairs leading up to the porch. On the short path from the house to the street, the poor teen slipped and fell into that puddle, and got struck by lightning twice. Somehow he survived, but he has to be the unluckiest person in my entire sim world. Ironically, his name is Felix, which means "lucky" in Latin...

once in ts3 i had a sim who I was trying to achieve the dirtbag reputation with - just to see how bad it could get. At one time he had 15 girlfriends all at once and it became so hard to manage that i had to have him stay home almost all the time because the chances of getting busted was so high. Obviously in the end he got caught by visiting the house of one girlfriend - who I hadn't realized was the roommate of another girlfriend. Oops. It all kicked off then and for days he was getting confronted by all of these women and accused (rightfully) of cheating. I'd never seen one sim get slapped so much.

I play 4 singles I made and always enjoyed. I put them in an apartment I built especially for the purpose of them living in the same building so I could have them develop relationships and marry. The two couples were at the point where they just became girlfriend/boyfriend when they all headed out to work. Just outside the building the guys both noticed a UFO and stopped, looking up at it. At the same time a meteor struck killing both of them! Of course I didn't save and got right out of the game to redo! It only happened that once, thank goodness, but I didn't realize until then that an attempted alien abduction and meteor strike could occur at the same time! Always keep an eye to the sky in this game! LOL This was in Sims 3.

Wow, this game can be brutal! Fun thread. :D

My sim kid was visiting a friend after school. The mom was at work but the teen sister was home. She started making grilled cheese and caught on fire and no one could save her.
